January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post Won't last with friends who send him smack through the post. Probably at his request. Rest of band in Thailand as well. Wonder who sent it?
January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post I am no expert on drug addiction, but if he relapsed in early December after nearly 2 months without, and now we are just 1 month later in early January and he has now 'beaten' his addiction, to me it does not seem like he has much chance sadly. The local BIB's should pay close attention, as their is some decent money to be had here if they watch closely.
January 5, 201511 yr Won't last with friends who send him smack through the post. Probably at his request. Rest of band in Thailand as well. Wonder who sent it? Probably his UK dealer who doesn't want his income to drop.
January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post Congrats to TV for posting this. A guy tries to take care of a problem and simply can't possible do it with any privacy whatsoever. Nice goin'
January 5, 201511 yr "Rock star Pete Doherty has checked out of a rehab center in Chon Buri after apparently beating his heroin addiction..Doherty’s one relapse into heroin use came when he went to Bangkok in early December." Sounds like the addiction beat him after a short visit to Bangkok. Probably won't be those temptations when he returns to his old environment. I doubt the odds makers in London are giving great odds on him staying clean.
January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post Cured? Laughable. It was only last month that he relapsed, so how can he be cured so quickly? Time to dump his friends that send him heroin in rehab.
January 5, 201511 yr Won't last with friends who send him smack through the post. Probably at his request. Rest of band in Thailand as well. Wonder who sent it? Probably his UK dealer who doesn't want his income to drop. bit risky posting from the uk
January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post Congrats to TV for posting this. A guy tries to take care of a problem and simply can't possible do it with any privacy whatsoever. Nice goin' It's all over the news internationally. The Daily Mail, The Guardian, ibtimes, etc. Have you informed the other dozens of media sources of your concern?
January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post Shambles by name.....shambles by nature. Such a self entitled idiot who brings all of his troubles upon himself. Past caring about this fool and his low life antics. JAF
January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post Seems like an oxymoron,Thailand and trying to beat Heroin addiction, surely it would be best to go to a country that is not awash with drugs. its a bit like going on a slimming course at a chocolate factory. regards Worgeordie
January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post Congrats to TV for posting this. A guy tries to take care of a problem and simply can't possible do it with any privacy whatsoever. Nice goin' His privacy remains intact with me as I have absolutely no idea who this prawn-head is, and no desire to enlighten myself. Story filed under 'Ignorance and Apathy", aka the round filing cabinet.
January 5, 201511 yr I'll start to believe he has kicked the habit one year from now. This guy has been 'cured' too many times before in rehab. what he needs is more willpower and better friends / associates.
January 5, 201511 yr Congrats to TV for posting this. A guy tries to take care of a problem and simply can't possible do it with any privacy whatsoever. Nice goin' He did no less than 2 videos of his "stint in rehab Hope". He is publicizing himself and the place. Not looking for privacy. Looks like another self absorbed artist with money and means. Why get clean?

Nice goin' His privacy remains intact with me as I have absolutely no idea who this prawn-head is, and no desire to enlighten myself. Story filed under 'Ignorance and Apathy", aka the round filing cabinet. Don't know the guy as well and never heard of his band. So unlike you I was curious and did a search, since his name sounded familiar. Looks like I had him mixed up with snooker player Ken Doherty.
January 5, 201511 yr How did he relapse? Isn't heroine illegal in Thailand? If Yes, then, he was committing crime and should be arrested...LOL...
January 5, 201511 yr I'm surprised he had the guts to go and score heroin in Bangkok, man what a risky proposition...go to Vientiane or Phnom Penh if you want to do that, but BKK, damn that takes some balls....must have known some people, can't imagine someone like him would be satisfied with crappy quality..
January 5, 201511 yr Remember Elton John chucking him off the stage @ live 8? Priceless (Docherty completely mullered a song by Marc Bolan, a friend of EJ's who died in a car accident many years earlier)
January 5, 201511 yr I want to open a detox clinic and call it "The Golden Triangle Detox Clinic For No Talented Wannabee Musicians". The garden will have poppies, each room will have a different theme after a musician who overdosed and a bag of China White or Mexican Black tar under your pillow every night to test your willpower. Our slogan: Feeling lucky, punk?
January 5, 201511 yr No one 'beats an addiction'. The addiction is there for the rest of your life and you take one day at a time sober. Plus methadone is more addiction than heroin....once you get on that shit you never get off. The best chance of having a lengthy time without heroin is to take Subutex.....it is a partial opioid receptor agonist and binds very tightly to the opioid receptors in the brain...heroin cannot dislodge Subutex from the receptors and the patient feels good because the receptors are partially agonised. It cut the accidental death rate from heroin or methadone overdose in France by over 90%. It's also available in combination with naloxone...the combination reduces the abuse potential of Subutex to zero (it was designed by giving it to addicts and asking them how much they would pay....they titrated the dose of naloxone until the street value of the drug was zero). It's wonderful stuff and available generically albeit restrictedly in developed countries. I don;t know it's status in Thailand but rehab without Subutex/Suboxone is pointless.
January 5, 201511 yr Popular Post I'm just amazed that they're calling this guy a 'rock star'. He's an ass, nothing more. If he didn't date some model in the UK nobody would ever have heard of him.
